Bio
Hailing from the New South Wales border town of Corowa, Max Urquhart was a rugged and courageous utility who became a reliable contributor for Collingwood during the 1960s. Scouted by club legend Harry Collier, Urquhart overcame initial clearance hurdles to establish himself as a bustling centreman known for his straight-line attack on the football. He quickly developed a reputation as a "wet weather specialist"—a tag that highlighted his ability to thrive in the Victoria Park mud but occasionally saw him unfairly overlooked on drier days. His standout season came in 1964, where he polled strongly to finish fourth in the Brownlow Medal and appeared as a reserve in the Grand Final loss to Melbourne, though he experienced the bitter flipside of football fortune when he was omitted from the 1966 Grand Final side. Urquhart reinvented himself as a defender in his final season, notably taking a spectacular tumbling mark over Alex Jesaulenko in the 1969 Second Semi-Final, leaving a legacy as a wholehearted competitor who gave everything for the jumper.
